This image is stunning. I don't care whether this meets the challenge or not - the best, hands down.

The lighting is fantastic here, and he's a pretty great subject for a shot like this. As an added bonus the pose definately conveys authority (at least in my humble opinion). Hope you do well... on the whole I haven't really been impressed with this challenge, but I really like this.9.

hrmm I swear I've seen this one before -- definately shows authority -- and no matter who you are you have to stop for at least a few second to look at it -- model posed, shot from behind, empty space, shadows look great, good composition -- top 10 at least i'd say.

Beautiful lighting, but I don't think the focus is supossed to be this soft. Good idea, but there's something that makes it seem flat to me. Good luck.

This is a very impressive shot. I really like the muscle definition by the shadows. Great lighting and composition. This would have been excellent in the previous Black & White contest.

Well I am not judging if it it's on topic or not. I find this picture very well done. I'd give it a 9 but since i lack the connenction to rules as such, I'll lower the score to 8. I know that you're going for the "authority" word but I am not sure if the topic is about this precise understanding of the word. Any way the shot is a beauty.

I like this photo, but it would have seemed a lot more powerful as a full body shot... IMHO :o)

Nice authoritative pose, but the one highlight on his head is a bit much when the rest are perfect.
